In addition to the Chamber's article on acquisition of a new dialect, you
might consider looking at parts of Labov's Principles of Linguistic
Change that cover the work of J. Roberts, who looks at the acquisition the
Philadelphia dialect by people who migrate to Philadelphia. The focus is
on phonology.
Some of her work makes clear that age when migrating is crucial,
particularly in relation to acquiring the phonology.
